您为什么要在USYD主修考古学？
Archaeology at USYD allows you to专门并选择与历史上特定时代相关的主题。
USYDalso hasa wide range of opportunities relevant to the archaeology of First Nation Australians- 因此，您可以接受专注于澳大利亚历史的主题。“They offer a lot of practical and theoretical work.Some universities take only a practical approach, or a very theoretical approach, but USYD gives a good balance of the two，”娜塔莉说。
Further,考古学的导师和讲师在您正在学习的时期中知识渊博和经验丰富。USYDis said to have a profound team of academics, some of which are recognisable on an international level!
USYD也是以其伟大的考古社会而受欢迎so that you can really get involved with the community and students in older grades.These networking opportunities allow you to hear about other students’ experiences in different subjects, areas of focus and also field work events!
考古专业的前三名优点
＃1：您可以选择大量主题领域
Natalie told us, “USYD hasa really broad range of different subjects you can do in archaeology,因此，有一个选择。”
Some of the areas you can choose from and study are:
-
- Pompeii and Herculaneum
- Minoans and Mycenaeans
- South Italy
- 西亚
- 古希腊
- 古澳大利亚
- Ancient China
- 伊特鲁斯人和罗马人
#2: Field work opportunities in the industry
Natalie said, “There isa lot of opportunities to do field work in the local community, across Australia, and even on exchange— which is great to get experience in the sector!”
These field work experiences often includegetting involved in archaeological digs。With a lot of construction and infrastructural development throughout greater Sydney, there are oftenpublic call outs for studying archaeologists to join excavations.
成为一部分ArchSoc, the Archaeology Society at USYD，这也是寻求更多现场工作并从老年学生那里了解其他机会的好方法！
#3: USYD balances the practical and theoretical aspects of Archaeology
如前所述，USYD的考古学主修为您提供理论知识和实践经验。
“I love studying history so即使它是基于对象的，我也可以学到很多有关不同文明的知识。然后，我们还有实际的机会。”娜塔莉说。
Top 3 Cons of an Archaeology major
#1: There isn’t a lot of flexibility to begin with
像很多主题一样，您经常会发现first and second year can be limiting in terms of the subjects you study.
“在第一年，没有那么多选择you only have one subject per semester for the major，而且该主题是一个核心单位，因此是强制性的。”娜塔莉说。
However, once you’ve got those core foundational units over and done with, you’ll be able tochoose subjects from a time period or region that you are particularly interested in.
#2: There’s a lot of reading to keep up with
作为艺术学位，您可以期望拥有每周都有很多阅读以跟上作为考古专业。跟上您必须做的大量阅读可能很难，并且even missing one week of content can snowball pretty quickly.
“The readings can be really long but at least they relate to the tutorial and lecture content，”娜塔莉说。
尽管如此，这些读物的意思是您会有效地迅速采购信息的重要部分。
#3: Lectures can be very content heavy
尽管整个星期的教程和其他课程为您提供了更实用或更手工的学习方法，但讲座可能会变得非常满意。
Just remember that it’s still important to absorb what’s taught in lectures as they inform your other classes!
有遗憾吗？
“At times I feel like my work ethic wasn’t the best.我应该更多地利用给定的资源……非常重要的是要利用他们提供的额外资源，以便您可以be more proactive with learning things outside of the lectures，”娜塔莉说。
您希望在USYD开始考古学之前知道什么？
首先，就像您选择的任何程度或专业一样，it’s important that you’re interested and passionate about the subject area.
如果您想选择考古学，重要的是要知道这是一个特别利基领域，因此，您肯定要考虑的是不断吸引历史和启发历史的启发。
娜塔莉说：“更具体地说：“I wish I knew how useful the unit outline is… I wish I knew how to understand this page to get a better understanding of the course。”
The unit outline is pretty muchUSYD的任何课程或专业的手册。有a page for every major and it outlines the core subjects you must take and the electives or extra units you can choose from.
它还以what you’ll learn, the types of classes you have to take and the assessments你会这样做！
是什么使这个学位与其他大学提供的程度不同？
“我真的很喜欢在悉尼I can do it in a double degree with Advanced studies and focus on another specific area— in my case, Media and Communications,” Natalie said.
Although a double degree with Archaeology is also available at other universities,USYD为您提供高级研究的第二学位，为您提供程序。Programs give you the opportunity to与您在专业中所做的事情相比，进一步的深度和广度研究。
Natalie said, “我们还从不同地区和时间段内收集了很棒的博物馆和收藏。As the university is so old, these collections are extensive.”
是什么促使您在USYD选择考古学？
Natalie said, “我一直热爱古代历史，在高中时，我对此非常热衷。Even when I was little I loved going to museums.
“能够在双重学位上做到这一点，这意味着我可以拥有更多的职业选择和研究生的可能性。The alumni stories also were really inspiring.
“ USYD也有great societies and events结识人和网络变得很棒。”
